damp/moldy smell coming from vents....
Lately, it seems like there is a damp/moldy smelly coming from my vents when the car starts. Almost a bit like urine, to be honest. Seems to go away within a minute after the AC unit runs.
Anyone know the cause?

I'd try bullet #1 before shooting any solution into the AC vents first however.

I would also replace the cabin air filter when you clean the a/c evaporator.
It might take a couple of cans the of evaporate flush / cleaner to rid the odor
but the flush will clean out the evaporate case and any mold
To help control the odor you can try turning the a/c off before shutting the car off.that will help control the water in the a/c evaporate case
